"It might otherwise appear paradoxical that money..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“Just as the savage must wrestle with nature to satisfy his wants, to maintain and reproduce life, so must civilised man, and he must do so in all social formations and under all possible modes of production.”

“The state is based on this contradiction. It is based on the contradiction between public and private life, between universal and particular interests. For this reason, the state must confine itself to formal, negative activities.”

“The object of art like every other product creates a public which is sensitive to art and enjoys beauty.”

“Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it.”

“Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.”

“Nothing is so secure as that money will not defeat it.”

“Character is "a stamp of good repute on a person."”

“If anything had or could have a value equal to gold and silver, it would require no tender law; and if it had not that value it ought not to have such a law; and, therefore, all tender laws are tyrannical and unjust and calculated to support fraud and oppression.”

“Time waste differs from material waste in that there can be no salvage.”
